AD 37 Recommendation! Updated!

Andy Jorgensen is the WEAC recommended candidate for the 37th Assembly! The 37th AD has been in the grasp of Republican David Ward who was on the Assembly budget committee. Representative David Ward has been no friend of education and there is a real opportunity to pick up this seat in the November 7th election.

Opposing Jorgensen in the Democratic primary is Walt Christiansen.
Both Jorgensen and Christiansen participated in the WEAC political recommendation process with Jorgensen being recommended first by the screening committee, then approved by the WEAC PAC Committee, the WEAC Board of Directors and finally approved by all the WEAC members living in the 37th AD by post card vote. No Republicans chose to participate in the process, although all were invited.

Besides the all important vote on September 12 and November 7, it is also extremely important to pry open your wallets and pocketbooks as that is what it takes in order to win political contests today. It does little good to complain about revenue caps and the QEO if we are not willing to do what it takes to change what has been a hostile legislature.

future representative Jorgensen's website and give generously!

Update!
The Watertown Daily News
has a pretty good article about Andy!
